The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 73 Drinking Snake Blood
The houses beneath his feet kept moving backwards. Guo Jing lowered his eyelids, silently digesting what he had just learned from the fight with the enemy. He had only acquired the Great Demon Subduing Fist less than a day ago, and had basically been figuring it out on his own.

After using it in actual combat, he had a deeper understanding of boxing. As for waving the five-stringed instrument with his hands, he had not had time to practice it yet.

In a short while, the two men passed through the streets and alleys like ghosts and returned to the inn.

However, when they entered the inn, in the distance, a figure was sitting on the roof looking at the stars. He looked sad and in a very low mood. When she saw the fleeting shadow, her eyes lit up and she immediately chased after it.

……

Returning to the room, Su Ming casually waved his finger and the hot Qi ignited the oil lamp. The room was instantly lit up by the dim light. He put down the bamboo basket and looked at Guo Jing's pale face. "Sit down first. I will use my Qi to heal you."

Guo Jing covered his chest, which was burning with pain. There was very little energy left in his body. After the battle, it was as if all the strength in his body had been drained. He forced a smile and sat down cross-legged.

Su Ming walked behind him and pressed his palm down. A steady stream of true energy flowed into Guo Jing's body through the Baihui acupoint to heal his body. He had just been hit by many punches from Liang Ziweng. If he was left to heal his injuries by himself, it would probably take a long time.

A quarter of an hour later, Su Ming felt that it was about time, so he withdrew his hand and let him practice his energy on his own.

At the same time, a figure quietly came to the roof of the inn. Huang Rong followed from a distance and only saw the two figures enter the inn and then disappear.

Under the moonlight, she recognized at a glance that this was the place where the two people she met during the day lived, and she suddenly wondered in her heart: Are those two people who just came back? She was bored at night, and she was curious and playful, so she immediately prepared to sneak in here to find out what was going on.

Guo Jing opened his eyes and exhaled a long breath. He felt refreshed and the pain in his chest was relieved. He stood up and thanked him, "Thank you, teacher. Jing'er is fine now."

"Your injury has not yet fully healed. Your master is going to Prince Zhao's mansion tonight, and Liang Ziweng is just doing it for convenience. The real purpose is this." After saying this, Su Ming pointed at the bamboo basket.

Guo Jing had long been curious about what was inside, so he immediately asked, "Teacher, what's in here?"

A hint of smile flashed across Su Ming's eyes. "Why don't you open it and take a look?"

Guo Jing walked forward and opened the bamboo basket. Suddenly, a huge blood-red snake jumped out of it and pounced on his face. He was shocked and quickly retreated. The snake's body was as thick as a small bowl and was scarlet all over. Its head could not retract unsteadily, and it was spitting out its tongue and opening its bloody mouth to bite him.

It came too fast and he couldn't avoid it in time, so he could only punch it. Unexpectedly, the snake twisted its body and wrapped around his arm. The smooth and cool feeling made his hair stand on end.

He grew up in the north and had never seen such a big snake. Most people would feel some physical discomfort when seeing this kind of long worm for the first time. Guo Jing knew something was wrong when he was entangled by the snake's body, and hurriedly reached out to grab its neck.

This time he caught the snake in the act, and he felt relieved. But then he smelled a pungent medicinal smell coming to his nose, mixed with a fishy smell. The breath from the snake's mouth was extremely unpleasant and nauseating.

After walking all this way, the snake had already woken up, but it was used to staying inside, and even when Su Ming caught it, it did not escape. Now that it suddenly saw a stranger, of course it would resist. Su Ming smiled at Guo Jing who was fighting with the giant viper, and said with a smile, "This is what the master is looking for, how is it?"

The snake was extremely powerful, and its body gradually tightened. Guo Jing's injuries had not yet healed, so he was unable to hold him down for a while. He had to hold on with his arms. The snake wrapped tightly around his chest, and it became increasingly difficult to breathe. He used his internal energy to push outwards, and the snake's body relaxed a bit, but then wrapped even tighter.

Guo Jing struggled to resist, his face tense, a trace of fear flashing in his eyes, "Teacher, help me get it away, this snake is too strong."

"Ha, it's just a snake. You should get used to it first. You never know when you might encounter more of them in the future." Su Ming chuckled and ignored him. He walked straight to the table in the outer room of the room and picked up two tea bowls.

At this time, Guo Jing's face had turned red, and he was already feeling dizzy from the smell of the snake. Su Ming walked forward with the bowl and pressed lightly three inches away from the snake's body. The snake's tense body instantly softened, as if its bones had been pulled out.

Guo Jing stepped back a few steps, leaned against the window and gasped for breath, thinking silently, this snake is too strong, it is really difficult to deal with it once it gets entangled with it.

The previous push had broken the bones of the giant viper, leaving it without any strength. Su Ming used his fingers and the sword to lightly scratch the snake's body. A wound immediately appeared on the snake's skin. Bright red blood flowed out of the wound and was collected in a tea bowl.

The air was suddenly filled with the aroma of medicine, and Guo Jing felt refreshed after smelling it.

"This is a good thing. Twenty years ago, Liang Ziweng caught a large and extremely poisonous pit viper in the deep mountains and dense forests. He fed it with various rare medicines. The snake's body color was originally gray and black, but after taking cinnabar, ginseng and other medicines, it gradually turned red, and the blood in its body also changed and became precious blood."

"After drinking it, you can improve your beauty, prolong your life, and increase your strength. Your internal strength is not strong enough, so you need a treasure like this."

While he was talking, Su Ming had already finished one bowl. He then took another bowl and handed it to Guo Jing, "Drink it, it's good for you." In fact, it was not only Liang Ziweng's giant viper.

Su Ming also planned to take Guo Jing to visit Dugu Qiubai's sword tomb outside Xiangyang City later. There was a Bosiqu snake in it, which was also a good thing that could increase one's strength. Anyway, he would give it to other people, so he might as well take it first. As for Yang Guo, he could let him stay wherever he wanted.

Looking at the bright red precious blood in front of him, Guo Jing felt infinite gratitude in his heart. His lips moved but he said nothing. He just took the tea bowl silently and drank it all. The snake blood with the taste of medicine was spicy and bitter, and tasted very bad.

Knowing that this thing was a treasure, after drinking it, he sat cross-legged and circulated his Quanzhen internal energy to refine the medicinal power of the snake blood. After a while, he felt his whole body was hot, as if it was roasted by a fire. His whole body was extremely hot and his skin was red.

After a while, the other bowl was also filled. Seeing that Guo Jing had not yet fully absorbed the medicinal power, Su Ming simply picked up the bowl and drank it himself. As soon as he took a sip, it was bitter and spicy, making him frown.

The snake blood entered his stomach, and he felt warm. He returned to the bed and sat down, refining the medicinal power. The medicinal power of the snake blood transformed into warm currents that flowed through his limbs and bones, nourishing Su Ming's body and strengthening his qi and blood. In less than a cup of tea, the snake blood was completely refined.

Su Ming opened his eyes, clenched his fists, and felt that his strength had increased a lot. As for his skills, this thing was just a drop in the bucket for him, but it was better than nothing. The true energy controlled by the Minghai Guiyuan Jin was huge, and this was far from enough.
